By the end of May, my mistake has fully set in.  maybe 10 percent of the plants I put outside at the beginning of the month will make it.  the rest are gonners.  quite withered, and leaveless.  it is really kind of sad.

I realized this about a week after I planted and already started seeds again for everything I had extra.  the good news is that of those I can already see some good growth, and although they will be a little later than I hoped for, at least I will have something.

Meanwhile I am eating some Peperoni Made from the Deer I got last hunting season and spiced with the dried and ground peppers from my Garden Last Year.  those plants were all bought as plants, not seed.  my mouth is warm and my tummy is Happy and there will be more gardening another day.
